“we’re not doing illegal, and no you can’t check.”

-People doing illegal things

Rin,

you’re OK with having all your messages read by the government?

Gregorech,

How is this different than another time?

halcyoncmdr,

We already know they do that. If they can’t directly for any legal reason that they don’t want to admit violating, they’ll just have one of our allies do it for them via their foreign intelligence sevices. Snowden gave us the proof of that a decade ago.

Burn_The_Right,

Neither private companies nor the government should be collecting data from/about citizens without probable cause and due process.

That could all be codified into the regulations that classify internet as a public infrastructure service.

4am,

Quite a jump from “prices should be fair, monopoly power bad” to “LITERALLY 1984” but ok convince yourself you’re making a coherent argument 🤷‍♂️

Rin, (edited )

I take issue only with “- People doing illegal things” because that argument has been used over and over to rape our privacy to death. Think “If you’ve done nothing wrong you’ve got nothing to hide” mindset.

I don’t have a problem with “- Monopoly doing illegal things”. Monopoly is not a person.

SupraMario,

You do realize they have a law that requires the phone companies to run a phone line no matter where you build in the USA right? Requiring the ISPs to uphold stipulations like this is a good thing.

Also, NSA…

The title alone is a great reason to investigate broadband prices.

Oh god the wipe transitions. I remember when the original trilogy was being remade into… I think the Gold version? I watched bts stuff and George was explaining how they’d added wipes to the scene transitions. Like, cool new CGI and all, but maybe adding wipes over the entire thing is kind of taking the piss.

How to tell you are running a cartel, step #1:

foggy,

The cartel says the CIA shouldnt investigate cocaine prices.

Unlocalhost,

Cocaine prices have made little to no change even though recessions, my friend tells me.

jarfil,

Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.

Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices

And that’s exactly why broadband prices should be investigated.

TryingToEscapeTarkov,

Yeah they should do it even harder and faster now. Now I’m horny.

jmd_akbar,

Yup. Totally not a suspicious thing to say…

Rememo,

Make internet access a utility and be done with it.

QuarterSwede,
@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

Seriously. Why is this taking so long!? It’s painfully obvious!

SupraMario,

Because the ISPs don’t want to have to do what we made them do for phone lines. Even though the trillion dollars we have given them over the last 30 years should have come with that stipulation…but they took that money and bought our politicians with it.

lunarul,

In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.

Otkaz,

Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?

lunarul,

That’s Romania. But I live in the US now.

AirlineF0od,

ichbinjasokreativ,

Fisch,
@Fisch@lemmy.ml avatar

Pretty sure my parents pay even more for 50 MBit. Live in Germany too.

Sorry, it’s so hard to believe, you have to explain how.

IHadTwoCows,

Fun fact: other contries actually regulate commerce. They get better service cheaper.

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

50€ for 1000/1000 here. My employer covers it.

themurphy,

46€ for the same here.

30€ if I can do with 1000/100 instead, which most people could.

Huschke,

49€ here, but yeah about 1/10 of the price of some US states is insane.

Valmond,

30€/m for 2x2.5Gb

burliman,

I pay $110 for 2000/2000 fiber. In the US.
